Word of Mouth does word of...er...mouth

A 30 minute radio programme about traditional stories and storytelling here.

It's BBC Radio 4's Word of Mouth and includes Monica from Uganda who learned stories from her parents, told them to her children and grandchildren and has never told them to anyone else before. And children from 'Translation Nation' who tell stories in their home languages and translate them in school.

Here's a link to that project:

I'm working with them tomorrow at Eastside, the educational trust who devised and run the project.
